The Art of Rendering Marble with paint and glaze is a time honered craft dating back before the Renaissance period. The ability to recreate the look of various polished marbles today is indispensible to Home Owners and Decorators in search of it's regal and sophisticated look.

Besides the fact that many marbles are no longer available, the weight of actual marble as well as it's cost sometimes makes it prohibitive as a viable option in buildings. Faux Marble Finishes can, when applied by an experienced artist, recreate the look of Alabaster, Cipolino, Travertine, Yellow Sienna, Limestone or any number of authentic marbles. Aesthetically it can be applied to Marble Columns, Marble Panels, Arches, Mantels, Fireplace Surrounds. In short..anywhere your imagination allows.

The application of Marble Finishes to surfaces uses a variety of Faux Painting Techniques to authentically replicate and simulate the translucent nature of actual Marble or, as is often the case, create a look of Faux Marble that is more loose and artistic that suggests the appearance of Marble, and at times may be more applicable to larger areas. Marble Finishes work out great for sophisticated focal points like Marble Columns and Marble Panels as well as table tops and moldings.
